1993年以Apple计算机公司为首在美国掀起了一个个人通信器或个人数字辅助器(PDA)的小浪潮,像AT＆T,IBM,Motorola,Casio,Sony和Compaq等诸多公司都卷入了这一浪潮,个人通信器实际上就是一个多用途的手持式通信终端,用它不仅可以打电话,而且还可以发传真,送数据.Apple公司首先推出的个人通信器叫NewtonMessagePad,售价在699至949美元之间.推出后Apple曾信心十足地准备大量签订Newton技术许可证合同,因为当时有20多家公司表示愿意生产此类产品.不久AT＆T收购的EO公司也推出称作EO 440的个人通信器.它基于32位,20MHz叫作Hobbit微处理机以及名为PenPoint的操作系统.它比Newton的一个重大改进是可以用无线方式通信,可打蜂窝电
In 1993, a wave of personal communicators or personal digital assistants (PDAs) was launched in the United States under the leadership of Apple Computer. Companies such as AT&T, IBM, Motorola, Casio, Sony, and Compaq were involved in this wave. The personal communicator is actually a multi-purpose handheld communication terminal. It can not only make phone calls, but also send faxes and send data. The first personal communicator launched by Apple is called Newton MessagePad. The price is between 699 and 949 US dollars. After the launch, Apple had confidently prepared a large number of newton technology licensing contracts because at that time more than 20 companies had expressed willingness to produce such products. Soon after AT&T acquired the EO company also launched a personal communicator called the EO 440. Based on a 32-bit, 20MHz system called the Hobbit microprocessor and the operating system called PenPoint. It is a major improvement over Newton that can communicate wirelessly and can be used for cellular telephony.
